How ordering and pricing work
Pricing is built around your address, not a flat list. Type your ZIP into the calculator and it returns one delivered price for that material. Ordering more brings the rate per unit down, so a bigger load costs less per ton than a small one.
Eau Claire orders start at 2 units. Topsoil and pea gravel start at 2 tons each. Mulch is measured differently, so it starts at 2 cubic yards. Orders are placed online, and the confirmation shows what you picked before you pay.
Before you order, walk the area and rough out how much you need. A short list with the length, width and the material for each spot makes the calculator on each page quick to use, and it keeps you from ordering two loads when one would do.
Where the load goes
Trucks tip the pile in one spot. Pick a flat, firm area close to the street, such as the end of a driveway, and keep it clear of parked cars. Low branches, wires and tight turns matter more than people expect, so look up as well as around. If the pile has to sit on pavement, a few boards at the edge protect the surface and make shoveling easier.
Local conditions around Eau Claire
Winters here are long and cold. Frost lifts patios and walkways, so base stone laid in the fall tends to hold up better than a rushed spring job. Heavy spring melt also turns clay yards soft, and a truck on a wet lawn leaves ruts, so choose a hard surface when the ground is soggy. Properties near the rivers often have low spots that hold water, which makes pea gravel a sensible choice for bedding under drain lines.
Fall is a good window for topsoil and seed on lawns, because cool weather helps new grass root before winter. Mulch goes down best in spring, once the soil has thawed and dried a bit.
Planning a larger project
Work in order. Spread topsoil first and rake it level, set any edging next, then lay pea gravel for paths and finish with mulch on the beds. Doing the beds last keeps stone and soil from being tracked across fresh mulch, and it leaves the finished look for the end of the job.
Many jobs in the city combine materials: topsoil for the lawn, mulch for the beds and pea gravel for the path between them. Each is ordered on its own page, so you can build the list one material at a time. For other cities and the rest of the map, see delivery across Wisconsin.

Can I order more than one material for the same Eau Claire address?
Yes. Each material has its own page and its own delivered price, so you add them one at a time. They arrive as separate loads rather than mixed in one pile, which keeps topsoil, stone and mulch from contaminating each other. Look at the unit on each page before you order.
What is pea gravel used for around a home?
Pea gravel is a small, smooth stone that drains well. Homeowners use it for paths, patios, dog runs, play areas and the bedding layer around drain pipes. Its rounded edges are comfortable to walk on, but it shifts under heavy traffic, so a border of edging or timber helps hold it in place.
Should I put fabric under pea gravel?
Landscape fabric under a pea gravel path or patio keeps the stone from sinking into the soil and slows weeds growing up through it. Lay the fabric flat over graded ground, overlap the seams, and spread the stone on top. Over time a little soil dust and leaf litter can still sprout weeds, so rake the surface now and then.
How do I decide between topsoil and mulch for a garden bed?
They do different jobs. Topsoil underneath and mulch as the finish.
Is pea gravel good for a driveway?
It works for light use but is not the best pick. The stones are round and slide against each other, so tires push them aside and leave ruts over time. For a driveway, angular crushed stone locks together better. Pea gravel is a better fit for walkways, patios, and decorative areas that see foot traffic.
Can I spread topsoil over an existing lawn?
Yes, as a thin top-dressing. Mow short, rake out the dead thatch, then spread about a half inch to an inch of topsoil and work it down between the grass blades. Add seed to any bare spots and water lightly. Piling it thicker can smother the grass underneath instead of helping it.
How thick should I spread mulch?
In Eau Claire gardens, two to three inches is enough for most beds. Here in Eau Claire, a thinner layer lets weeds through, and a much thicker one can keep water from reaching the roots. Pull the mulch back a few inches from tree trunks and shrub stems, and refresh the layer once it thins out or fades.
How deep should topsoil be in a raised bed?
Fill a raised bed to within an inch or two of the rim, so water stays in the bed instead of running over the edge. Break up any clumps as you go and rake the surface level. Most vegetables root well in a bed that is a foot deep, and a shallower bed suits herbs and flowers.
